Franco Part 3: The Spanish Civil War
Real Dictators
The Cult of Franco
Franco reaches out to a member of the Nazi Party station in Morocco. This contact, in turn, manages to get direct access to Adolf Hitler. The German dictator thinks that Franco is the kind of general who might be able to make the difference. He agrees to send more planes to support Franco than he's actually requested. A combined operation involving German and Italian aircraft airlifted members of the foreign legion from Gibraltar to Seville. It was the world's first major airlift of troops - this makes a decisive difference in the Civil War.
